Parroquia Santa Ana, Catholic church in Villa del Parque, Argentina
Parroquia Santa Ana is a Catholic church in Villa del Parque that combines Romanesque and Classical architectural elements in its structure. The facade features four Corinthian columns supporting a triangular front, topped by an iron cross mounted on the tower.
The Congregation of Charity sisters arrived in the area in 1912 and built a chapel the following year. This initial structure laid the foundation for what would develop into the parish church serving the neighborhood.
The parish is named after Saint Anne and serves as a place where local residents mark important moments like baptisms, weddings, and family celebrations. Families often gather before and after services, making it a social hub for the neighborhood.
The church sits in a residential neighborhood and is easily accessible by foot from nearby subway stations and bus stops. Visitors should know that access is primarily available during mass times and religious services.
The church appears on the official emblem of Villa del Parque district, shown alongside the train station and a vintage streetlight. This placement reflects how deeply this building is connected to the neighborhood's identity and heritage.
